Mineola Students Prepare for The Math Olympiad

Submitted by Mineola School District

Jackson Avenue students in the Mineola School District have been preparing for their second Math Olympiad contest.

The Math Olympiad club, currently with 25 students, has been working collaboratively to analyze the challenging problems and discuss possible strategies for their solutions. The use of the iPad allows the students to better share their methods and present possible solutions to their peers through “Show Me” videos. Use of the iPad has increased the levels of student engagement, motivation, and understanding. Teacher Janice Killelea teaches the club.
